Josef Silberbauer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Josef Silberbauer († 1805 in Znaim ) was a south Moravian organ builder who worked in northern Lower Austria and southern Moravia in the last third of the 18th century .

Life

Biographical details are hardly known. Silberbauer was probably a student of Ignaz Florian Casparides in Znojmo and took over his workshop. There he took the citizenship oath on January 8, 1768 . He is described as an organ builder in Znojmo, although this has not yet been documented. Ignaz Reinold (1777–1848) learned organ building from Silberbauer and took over his workshop when his teacher went blind and died in 1805.

plant

Around 55 works by Silberbauer are documented. He mainly built two-manual organ works with Rückpositiv and some parapet organs . His organs are made to the highest craftsmanship and artistic level and have been carefully designed. His instruments are best preserved in Dürnholz, Grusbach and Dyje. In some works, Silberbauer used the broken octave with F sharp and G sharp in the bass octave.
